I'm not going to use some cheesy comparison equating the junior to the Energizer Bunny because that's too cliche, but he does seem to have extra juice when in the tank for when he's running out of energy (see what I did right there?).

While making my rounds for season previews this fall, I watched the Tigers soccer team do a conditioning drill called the beep test. Smith was the only Tiger to finish level 15, proving he was coach Pat Callahan's best conditioned.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that Smith also competes in cross country and is a top-two boys runner for coach Marcy Epperson. Smith said he was already tired when the cross country team did it's time trial and was edged out by senior Brandon Trujillo.

In the two fall sports that require the most conditioning, Smith is the best (or maybe second best in XC), so that closes that discussion.
